As a short-term study visa applicant, you must be able to demonstrate that you have a genuine reason for visiting and studying in the UK, can maintain and accommodate yourself during your studies and have sufficient ties to your home country to show the authorities that you have an intention to leave the UK. Although a third party may sponsor you, the Entry Clearance Officers (ECOs) will consider your circumstances too.

Visa applications submitted outside of the UK:

  • Standard processing: 15 working days
  • Priority Service processing: 5 working days

Important: UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) does not guarantee processing times, and delays do occur. We advise that you only book non-refundable travel once your visa has been approved and your work visa is in your possession.  Priority services can be suspended without notice and may not be available during application.

The UKVI application fee for a Short-Term study visa is £200.  In addition, you will usually need to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) which is £776.

Our professional fee will depend on the level of service you require.
